Perfect as a nickname for Visola!

I think commenting on someone’s name as ‘silly’ is not nice. I love the name Ola, but couldn’t baptise my daughter Ola, had to be Aleksandra as this is an official name for Ola in Poland. Also, Ola is pronounced with an accent on ‘O’ and sounds beautifully (like Irish Orla) not on the letter ‘a’. According to my Spanish relatives and my Spanish language teacher word ‘Holá’ meaning ‘hello’ should be pronounced with an accent on the last letter ‘a’. This differentiates it from the word ‘óla’, with the accents on ‘o’ which means ‘wave’ in Spanish, not ‘hello’.

My name is Ola, for where I come from, it's an Arabian name originally, and means glory and honor. Actually, it's not like hola in Spanish even though it sounds the same. And I was surprised by knowing that it's like a short version of Aleksandra! Which is Polish, I didn't know - my polish friend told me that! And Olek for a male is also from Aleksandar!.. I like it though!

Definitely unusable in Brazil since olá is Portuguese for "hello". I'm a Brazilian of Polish heritage and I admit, I was surprised by the listing of Ola as a Polish diminutive.

Very unintuitive. I'm Polish myself, but I actually didn't know that Ola is a diminutive for Aleksandra. I thought it was a name on its own.

The Ola whom I know is originally from Lithuania and her real name is in fact, Aleksandra.
As opposed to being pronounced identically to the Spanish word, Ola, the "ohh" and "lawh" are significantly emphasised, being stressed to a greater extent, subsequently making the name sound a lot softer and more feminine. "OHH-lawh"
Ola sounds very exotic and realistic when said by someone with a remotely North-East European//foreign accent. I hate saying the name myself because my accent is too unstimulating for these foreign names, but when said with a rich accent, Ola is beautiful!

Since it sounds like the Spanish word for hello, Ola looks silly as a name.

Not AW-lah but oh-la.

It isn't, just seems that way but as a diminutive for Aleksandra is would be pronounced AW-la.

My girlfriend's name is Ola, so it is used for girls too. It is Polish and a short or pet form of Aleksandra. [noted -ed]
